IPL group can offer an exclusive range of X-Last bollards. Researched and designed by Sabacaucho, these strictly formulated composite polymer bollards cleverly combine the properties of resistance and flexibility. In short, their strength and rigidity is sufficient for most bollard applications; they can be used for traffic control, roadside delineation, parking prevention and many common uses. They are also sufficiently flexible to bend under impact without breaking and will return to their original shape. In addition, X-Last bollards are not affected by rust and are available in a range of sizes and aesthetic designs to suit both streetscapes and roadside applications. For a durable bollard solution in passive safety applications, the X-Last bollard offers all road users new levels in safety over traditional bollards. |
X-Last bollards save lives.
The Applied research automotive centre (IDIADA) in Barcelona has carried out comparative impact tests with X-Last bollards and metallic ones. At a speed of 40 Km/h, the most common speed limit in city centres, metallic bollards may cause severe personal injury.
The international Head Injury Criterion (HIC) which evaluates injuries caused on the head of a person after impact has a set value of 1000, beyond which there are irreversible injuries. At 40 km/h, the IDIADA tests show that the HIC criterion obtained after the impact of a human head on a metallic bollard is 4600. This is almost 5 times the set limit.
At the same impact speed, the results with the X-Last bollard are spectacular. The HIC criterion obtained after the impact of a human head with an X-Last bollard is 460. This is less than half of the set limit and 10 times less than the results on the metallic bollards.
Both the RETENTION SYSTEM and X-Last bollard can be used together and both are designed to survive impact and separate the integrity of the foundation from the bollard and post. The RS socket remains intact beyond the lifespan and yielding intent of passive safety applications. It then allows consecutive bollards and posts to be installed quickly and easily in the original RS socket, offering a safe, environmentally efficient and intelligent foundation solution.
